The Creative Mental Health Guide is a Global online magazine.
‘Tackling stigma through creative sharing’
By sharing our stories and creations we can help reduce stigma in mental health by open expression and in voicing the personal benefits in being creative, we believe can have a positive impact on individuals and the community as a whole.
Are you a Creative person? Have you ever suffered mental ill health?
Do you want to share your story? Are you a writer, artist, poet, photographer? …or, Just you!? Whether you consider yourself an artist or you just play around for fun, you are invited to join this movement.
We are creating a forum that openly discusses mental health and how creativity can aid our peace of mind and enable us to express emotions and perceptions through art of all forms.
We also like to lighten the read with a short story or comic reel that does not have to link directly with mental health. We have our ‘capture it’ page for a photos that you find calming. Designed to create a sense of warmth and enjoyment to lighten what can sometimes be a collection of quite dark expressed emotions. We like stories of recovery and stories to inspire our readers and we also like realness and gritty truths. Its all about balance, just in life!
Our site is protected with ‘Content Copy Protection & No Right Click’
The magazine is accessible online on our website. It is a resource open for submissions from anyone, with the aim of tackling stigma and creating open dialogue to discuss mental health. It is a charitable project so all submissions are voluntary, but we are happy to promote any blog /website, or work you do by adding your links and details to the page.
Having said that we are also building a community of ‘Resident Artists’ with the aim of using community subscriptions to help us cover costs and to honour creatives work by commissions. In building this, the current Issue of the Guide will continue to be displayed on the website for public viewing. In addition, we have introduced a Community Subscription plan for access to our new pdf reader and the full back catalogue of the Guide. The basis of the Community subscription is to help us maintain stability and grow, with the aim to support artists more financially in the future. The pdf subscription plan is within an online reader with copy protection to secure your artistic integrity, while enabling us to grow and gain more financial support in the project.
